The major theme in Acts is the spread of the gospel. [[Acts 1:8]] sets the scene of the whole book
: ''{{web_verseBible verse|acts|1|8|lang=WEB}}''
This can be seen with the gospel spreading to the Jews throughout Jerusalem and Judea in Acts 1-7, to Samaritans in [[Acts 8]] and to the Gentiles throughout the "rest of the world" in Acts 9-18.
Gentiles were divided into Proselyte (those who had converted to Judaism and been baptized), God fearer (those who respected the Hebrew God [[Yahweh]] but had not been circumcised) and pagans (those who followed other gods).
